Surf School Found Item Report Form

Reunite Lost Items with Their Owners at Your Surf School

Running a surf school means managing dozens of lessons, students, and equipment rentals every day—and with that comes the inevitable lost sunglasses, water bottles, car keys, and personal belongings left behind on the beach or in changing areas. When your instructors or staff find items, you need a simple system to log them quickly and match them back to the right student or visitor.

This Surf School Found Item Report Form gives your team a fast, mobile-friendly way to report found items with all the context needed to reunite them with their owners. Instead of scribbling details in a notebook or relying on memory, staff can submit a quick form that captures the item description, where and when it was found, which lesson or session it's connected to, and even correlate it with equipment rentals or instructor schedules.

Built for beach operations and surf school workflows

This template is designed specifically for surf schools, beach clubs, and water sports operators who need to:

• Log found items in real time from the beach, shop, or storage area using any mobile device
• Connect items to specific lessons by capturing lesson time, instructor name, and beach location
• Cross-reference with equipment rentals to help identify the owner through rental records
• Include photos of the item to speed up identification and reduce confusion
• Track storage location so staff know exactly where to retrieve the item when the owner calls

The form uses conditional logic to show relevant follow-up questions based on item type and location, keeping the process quick for your team while still gathering the detail you need to follow up effectively.

Automate your found item workflow with Stepper

Once a found item is logged, you can use Stepper to automate the next steps:

• Send an internal Slack or email notification to your front desk or lost & found coordinator
• Cross-reference the lesson time and instructor with your booking system to pull up student contact details
• Auto-generate a "we found your item" email or SMS to the likely owner
• Log the item in a central Airtable or Google Sheets database with timestamps and status tracking
• Set a reminder to follow up or donate unclaimed items after a set period

This means your team can focus on delivering great lessons while the system quietly handles the admin work of reuniting belongings with their owners.
